Lonelygirl Lyrics

(Chorus)
What have you done
Lonely Girl
Yeah, I was fooled
Just like everyone
What have you done
Lonely Girl
We were all fooled
But we keep watching on

So much that we don't understand
Proving Science Wrong is just part of your plan
What's real?
Who's real?
And will you ever get that precious deal?

(Chorus)

Millions are watching
Your instant hit
Thousands are living
Your fifteen minutes
And hundreds are bitchin'
You see the ratio's good
So you keep 'em comin'

(Chorus)

'Cause it's a fine line
Such a fine line
That's a sign of our time
We manufacture reality
We're building this cult of celebrity

(Chorus)

'Cause it's a fine line
Such a fine line
We manufacture reality
We're building this cult of celebrity
